- Even if you have no idea how to use it, this video will get you up and running. I will start with the simple stuff, and then go on to the more complicated features.
Here's all of my other TD30 tutorials I've done that go I depth on specific parts of the module:

I've had the TD30 for almost 10 years and this video went over basics I wasn't even aware of. Thanks for this!
It's incredible what this module can do.
It really is
Great video, Justin. Your td-30 tutorials is just what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.
Thank you SO much! New to electronic drums and am playing on this at church. Awesome video!
Super helpful! I have a gig this weekend that requires me to play the house owned td30, being unfamiliar with the module, this is going to save me a ton of time in finding the correct sounds for our gig
That was really cool and informative as I just picked up one of these modules and have yet to set it up (waiting on the cable snake from overseas). Going from a TD17 to one of these is a giant leap it seems in terms of what it can do!!
Thanks man! I've just returned to drumming after a short time off...(35 years) also just purchased the Roland TD30 so....your video is PRICELESS to me! THANKS! signed:
"a real old drummer."
this year I returned to eDrums and bought a used TD-12 for gigging. Despite editing best I could, I wasn't excited by the sounds; mostly the snare sounds. I just bought a TD-30 and so far very pleased. I have much to learn.
Many thanks for lessons on the TD30 module. There a great kit.
Glad it helped!
Thanks very much. An excellent tutorial which has helped me make a decision to buy a TD30 module to replace my old TD10.
Thanks for the video...really helped setting up.... I would however like to import a percussion loop through the usb, and have it activated by hitting a pad or cymbal...like an on/off switch. Can you help with this..??
I gotta say man, I really appreciate your videos. I've been watching for years referring back to your vids and they've helped a lot. Thanks a bunch. Just got a td-30 module for $700. Mixer button is busted tho, was checking to see the ways to work around it or what I'm missing without it. Thanks again
Thank you so much for this. I'm only part of the way through but I'm finding this to be so much better than the manual. To be honest I got bored with the manual and just started to figure things out on my own. One of the aspects i particularly like about your tutorial is the fact that you explain exactly which buttons you're pressing as well as showing them. This means that blind drummers like myself can follow along. Keep up the awesome work.
+Ashley Cox I'm glad it's helping. I say it out loud intentionally because I think it just makes things clearer. Even for those that can see, it's helpful I think.
Thanks for the tutorial - really great. How can I use the record function on the song player section of keys? I can't get it to record properly or to turn off the click track. Many thanks if you can explain a bit.
Thank you a lot. Great work.
Hi! all your videos has a great information!
Can you do a video doing the same with the Roland Tm6 pro, please?
Justin , hi ! I just purchased my 30K following some serious inspiration from your videos ..... it took me 3 yrs since your first 30k video but I took the plunge ...... thanks so much man ! ............. take care ! ........ p.s. I 'll be requesting more videos so I 'll catch you later
Its a great kit! You'll really enjoy it once you dial in the right sound :)
I love this kit
Excellent, thanks!
Great video, thanks man. I will try these on my TD-30KV drum set.
Great!
Hi Justin I can't thank you enough for the tutorials and all your info on various kits ,any time I need info I head right for your sites
no BS just the facts .I recently bought a Strike Pro, well ya try to save a buck ya get what you pay for .The strike pro has some great sounds lots of funky toys but the processing needs so much help .The way the kits load is ridiculous and the effects sometimes follow 36 secs later, so in a live situation you yell to the guitar player "hey dude can you wait 36 secs for my kit to load" I mean how much $$$ is ram "ALESIS !!!" SO I thought I will try something, I rented a TD 30 module WOW!!! I don't have to tell you strike pro is like a toy compared to it ...tomorrow I'm buying the module ..took a little bit to adjust settings but everything works even that cheap Hi Hat .used vh13 settings and little bit of tweaking ...just used your site to transfer settings to other kits thanks for the info saved me major time ..thank you thank you :):):):)
Is it possible to insert a percussion loop and have it activated by hitting a cymbal...and turn it off by also hitting the same cymbal..?? So you can have a backup percs on your beat..!!
Excellent Instruction!
Thanks so much! Another recommendations turn the over all level under the red light.
in the meter red is always overload in any sound standard. The average is green and sometimes yellows in the peaks. No reds peaks!
I really need to know how to use the outputs to send audio to a digital mixer separately, I plugged a multicable but everything still comes out on stereo. Please help. Thanks.
Have mine and LOVE It, I play early MTV hits in a local band and can get the sounds very closely, BUT please make a vid on how to sequence a pattern and playing with it live, just can't figure it out. Example, shaker loop in Tears For Fears Rule The World?
Hey man, excellent review of the module. I just bought the 30K and have started delving into the manual but this video definitely helped putting pieces together; especially for the stuff in the manual that I didn't really understand. Thanks and great job!
Dude thanks for letting me know! Yeah that manual is not that great. I just bumped around the module for a few years to learn what i know now.
How do you copy regular cymbal sounds onto the cymbals of a kit that has those little sequences on the cymbals? I've tried using regular cymbals on the 21 AstroNote kit, but the samples remain, annoyingly
hello1 it helps me a lot to develop as a musician. I want to ask you for help I own a drum set Roland td -30 when you play with musicians of a certain power that emanates sound from my drums help what can I change to fiction overtones from the drums even when I don't play thanks
Hey Justin
Was undecided on what upgrade I wanted to do I had a td 15kv so I just upgraded the module to a td 30 and it's better in person I have say absolutely amazing and had looked at other modules but I have to say none of behave the way Roland modules do just thanks for the info on the td 30 very helpful thanks
:) glad to help
A feature missing is pattern creator. With my Yamaha DTX II (18 yrs old) you can record or program a pattern choosing either live or note by note. Can choose time signature and set beats per minute. I'm sure I can use software to edit and chain but it would be nice on the module.
Great tutorial man love it!
thanks!
Thank god you finally made this!!! I gotta prepare to take my notes :)
+Song Kevin Hope it helps!
Does anyone here know if we can pre setup metronome tempos and signatures for a gig (the same way he showed it's possible to do with the drum kits)? Thanks!
@65 Drums Hi Justin. I know this is a question on a very old video, but I recently got a used TD-30 module. For the wireless connection to the iPhone at 24:49, you said you’d leave a tutorial link in the description but I could not find such a video. Could you link me the name of the USB device you used to record Wirelessly into the iPhone? Thank you.
Hi Justin, love your channel. Super informative and you play like a Beast!!
The first synth stuff at the start of this vid, is that a preset on the TD30, and do you know if the same is on Td25 ???? Keep up the great work
Hi Justin, thanks for this. Really useful. Is there a timing check/coach function on this module? I can't find anything!
Hi pal, just wondering can I use my td3 hi hat and pedal on this module?? Will be temporary as I’m getting my td30 kit this week, but hi hat stand will be a few weeks later..😬
Hi Justin, really great video. I just got a TD30 and this really helped a lot! One question I have which I can't find anything about is the snare strainer adjustment (Inst > Edit > Muffle > strainer adj.). It seems that I can't get into that field to be able to adjust it from "loose" to tight. It looks like it's locked since the arrow down key does not respond when I try to get into the field where it says "loose". Do you know if this is indeed the case or that there is a workaround to get it more "tight"?
I'm playing at a church that has the TD-30. They can't find the user manual and I'm new to this kit. A couple of questions.
1. Is there a way to backup all the factory settings like on a thumb drive?
2. Can I copy one of the factory kits to the user section and then make changes to suit me? Thanks for this video. It really is a big help.
Thanks for a great informative video on effects I didn't know (or were afraid) to mess with... However what would also help is if you had a video actually demonstrating the effects/changes as you make them. This would allow a more real experience. I guess I can play myself (and will) but Id like to short list the main effects determined by listening to your changes as you make them. I appreciate this would make the video long but it could be split up. Also to know what is the default settings and what not to ned changing. Also how to name user kits if possible? tks
Thank you for the time you spent in this tutorial , it is really helpful . Would you please make another tutorial on how to record for td 30 to Adobe audition or any DAW. Thank you in advance
+Charbel Assaad I don't have a daw, but when the time comes that I buy one I'll probably make a video
Thanks!!
I recently accidentally put everything back to the default setting and I'm in the process of trying to get my sounds back that I had customized.
I think this will greatly benefit me.
+Jay Klein Ouch! I've done that before, it hurts
Thanks....it was a big help.
Justin, so I just got my TD-30 and you are really helping with the learning curve. Now here's a question. On the Fusion kit which I use a lot, I would like to add say a cowbell to one of the to, rims, and a woodblock to another. Is that doable? And if so, how? Thanks! Reid.
May I ask, how can I hit a pad and play the song (the song from my Usb)
Justin, I finally purchased the Roland TD-30k kit, after going through 5 low to midrange drum kits (Alesis Forge, Alesis Crimson, Roland TD-11kv, Roland TD-25k and Roland TD-25KV. I was never happy with any of these kits as they had their limitations, both sonically and expansion wise. I kicked around the idea of getting the Strike Pro, but no stores had demo models and the web videos of the unit screamed "don't get me". My only alternative was to get the TD-30. Your in-depth videos on the playability, editing, sounds and general enthusiasm about the kit really tipped the scale for me.
I really liked the TD-25kv, but I ran into a wall with its obvious limitations. Since I purchased all the previous kits at GC with the pro coverage, I was able to "own" the aforementioned sets for over a month each, so I have gained much knowledge about drums and these kits. I feel like I'm kind of an expert on these kits, which really helped me to realize you get what you pay for and the only way to go with e-drums is in purchasing a Roland flagship model.
Like you, I just want to play. I am a multi instrumentalist and have a complete midi studio, but I just want to sit down and play a good kit. I feel the TD-30k will allow me to finally enjoy playing.
Thank you for all of the valuable tips!
PS: Does the TD-30 allow you to assign separate head and rim sounds?
+Anna Callegari Dang, you really went through a process to find the right kit. Glad the td30k is working so well for you :) as you said: I love mine. And yes you can assign separate rim and head sounds :)
Could I hook a td3 up to this to have extra toms/crashes??
I am thinking about selling my td25 module for this module. Thoughts? I really want more control.
video! was great This is most helpful to me to had mine for one year .
Thanks! glad it helped, that module can be a bit confusing.
Great vid. I just picked up the TD-50. You should make an in-depth tutorial for the TD-50.
I don't own a TD50, but if I do buy one, I'll do a tutorial.
love it just love it!!
+Reagan Ho Awesome!
That is a deep rabbit hole. But awesome. Its funny I kinda feel roland and its sounds are for the guys who want the polished and processed sound of modern drums. Basically the guys who want to have the sounds of the albums on their module. It would seem like the strike, atv and 2 box focus more on natural acoustic sounds. Unfortunately for me I like the processed sounds. Gotta love the import functions.
Justin, can you layer voices/sounds/instruments with this module?
I was under the impression these sounds were taken of real instruments in studio conditions,is that not what mimic has done,would be great to hear your view on vexpressions,through Td30 !
Great job, appreciate the tutorial...
Thanks Marvin :)
Amazing Video! Thank you so much! You actually got me playing on my TD-30 again. I was just too lazy to figure out all these settings by myself, and the Tutorial Roland gives away with the kit ist not really helpful. I have one Question though: I really am a Hard-Hitter. When playing on the TD-30 the Trigger Lights are almost always in the red area. Do you think this is a problem and will eventually result in failure of the electronics, or should I just not worry that much and keep playing the way I play? Thanks in advance!
+b82b84b6b7 Thanks Man! If you are talking about Roland, then don't worry, they last for a long long time.
Is there option to remvoe to net from the snare??
Great video! I've recently purchased the TD30K, and I love it! I came from a TD11KV, so the difference is incredible.
My question is, how do I set the rim of a tom to be different to that of the head on the same tom? I could easily do it with the TD11, but I can't seem to get say a hi-hat on the rim, and a deep tom on the head.
You can absolutely change the rim and head sounds independently of each other! Press instrument, and then press F5. Now you can change the rim sound and the head sound by themselves.
Awesome! Thanks a bunch :)
So after playing around with this tonight, it appears that I can't do it to T3. All the others I can, just not that one. I thought maybe there was a fault, so I pulled that tom into another port, and it's fine. Why can't I do it to T3?
Is it possible to stack multi effects?
It's a very helpful video. Do you know whether the module can be used with other pads? I have a non Roland kit which is good quality and I'm thinking of upgarding to the this module?
Yeah it'll work with pretty much any mesh pad you throw at it. And it'll work with most crash cymbals. The Hi-hat and Ride depends on the wiring. Brands like yamaha won't work, but ATV will. So double check before buying random cymbals
Can the drum module be adapted to a different electronic drum like Yamaha dtx450
it took you almost 30mins to explain one module!! thats crazy how much this drum
can do!
+Reagan Ho yeah it's crazy
Thanks for the video! I have converted my acoustic kit to an e-kit with Remo Silentstroke heads, Roland RT30 Triggers (all dual) and the TD30 module with Zildjian Gen16 cymbals. My question is...how do I connect the DCP of the cymbals to the Roland module? Can I go direct or do I have to connect both modules to a mixer? Thanks!
You can connect the cymbal module to the Mix In on the back of your module. Or you can go to a mixer like you said.
Thanks for the reply. So far I went from the roland mod to the zildjian mod. But I'm not happy with the cymbal mods sound so I'm gonna try to e.q. them in a mixer. I'll report back what works best!
Great video, although I watched hoping to learn how to assign the rim of the floor Tom to a different sound like on my old td-9 I want to add a bass drop of some sort like the old "super low" but I can't figure it out. Not as simple as the old module.
+Brittin Meany I got you:) Press instrument, hit the edge of the pad you want to edit, and then press F5. Set whatever sound you want to it. When you are done, press F5 again.
+Justin Greenawalt thank you!
Hey Justin. Can you save the TD30 sounds onto a flash drive and use those sounds to load onto the SPDSX? I’m playing on a back line acoustic kit this weekend and want to bring my spdsx for effects. TIA!
i believe so, yeah.
hi Justin, Ive got a chance to pick up TD30KV for 4200 ( Lightly used )all good hardware incl...Im just a hobby drummer but this kit looks awesome....hard to pass up. Ya Think ?
That's a GREAT price for that kit
I just got my Td-30k today, and was just wondering are there any play along tracks inside the module like the td-11 has, where I can mute the drums or turn on a click track? Or do I have to download an MP3 or use the cd that comes with it. Thanks!
You have to download the tracks form online or from the CD :/ congrats on the set. I love mine :)
Justin, great tutorial. I am a first-time digital kit owner so the learning curve is quite steep. I have two questions: first, it seems no matter which pre-set kit I attempt to edit, it will not allow me to tab down to the strainer adjustment in the editing. Is this normal? Second, is there a way to copy a sound from one kit and import it to another? Example, I like the cross-sticking sound from the #4 Burnin' kit and would like to import it to the Nashville kit...is this possible? Thanks, Steve
+XDrummerSteve I already made a tutorial video last week on how to copy drums/kits/effects :) also there are only like 2 or 3 snares that have a flexible snare chain option. Kinda sucks :/
Thank you for the tutorial! I'm looking to buy this exact kit, and as every man (from a woman's point of view) don't want to sit and read the manual when I get it. This will be most helpful. I just subscribed and look forward to many tips, tricks, edits etc. when I do get my kit. Once I get my TD-30 and get in the swing of things, I'll let you know. Again, thanks!
+Eddie Myers Great! Let me know how it works out for you when you get it!
+Eddie Myers btw, give the module some time when you get it. It took me awhile to get the sound I was looking for.
Thank you!!!
Eddie Myers l
I've had it for about a month, and love it! Still learning it, but having fun doing so! Thanks for all the good videos!!
Thank you so much, I love all your stuff and have been watching for years now. Question. Is there a download place where I can down load a kit that sounds like . . . Def leppard, or Tom Petty, Yes I am an old man. I am in a working cover band and have always dreamed of having my kits from td 30 sound just like the actual artist. Please help. Ken
you could always checkout the website vexpressions.com, they might have what you're looking for. Listen to some of the kit examples for the different TD30 packs on the website
Thanks so much Justin as always your rock solid.
Great tutorial man..jeez, it would've taken me months to learn this module because reading the user's manual sucks!:)
Thanks Johnnie :) I agree, the TD30 manual just sucks (like most manuals out there)
please explain how to copy kit on td30 and move to user kit,i hold down the shift but no copy pops up,nothing happens at all
I'll have to make a dedicated video on that. I'll try to make one in the next week.
Nice !
I will play on a TD 30 for the first time on a gig this friday.
This video will be really usefull !
Thanks ;-)
Hey thanks and congrats man! Hope it goes well :)
Yes, first gig on electronic drum :)
It was great Justin !
Thanks for all your videos and this one was really usefull to tune the TD30 borrowed for this gig.
I'm going to replace my old Pearl Master Custom with a brand new TD50K (after years of money saved on gigs ;-))
Here a sample of the gig. French rock ;-)
facebook.com/toriimusic/
thanks for the video, i bought this kit about a week ago and love it, still learning as I'm going on. A few question i have, is changing triggers an important thing? when i play sometimes i see the trigger volume meter go all the way up to red and i sometimes think to myself if i am hitting it too hard? is this the case? i read a guide from a member of a Vdrums website stating which are the perfect setting for beginners. http//www.vdrums.com/forum/advanced/technical/67143-roland-module-tuning-trigger-setup-initial-settings-discussions.
Do you agree with this? I'm trying to get the most out of the Kit and don't want a continue forever adjustment as long as i have this kit.
Also the volume of your faders is that what you usually play with? I tried recording the other night from L and R output onto my phone and i could hardly hear the bass. Im thinking i have my cymbals too high
The triggers sensitivity should be high enough that when you hit hard, the meter maxes out. As for the volume, it changes from kit to kit. Just remember the kick and snare are the most important thing as far as volume goes. Try increasing the low end with eq. Go to the eq section and increase it a bit. It will help the feel of your whole set :)
Hey Justin
The only thing I didn't see explain was how to copy a kit I've tried but just can't get it please help thanks
Hold shift, and then press copy at the same time. A menu will pop up letting you choose where the copy gets sent too :)
hey I'm a dumb dumb lol i just got the roland TD 30 drum kit do you have youtube video for beginner 101 and to play the different songs play along thanks
Sorry man, this is my beginner video. But I do have a bunch of individual videos showing off how to do specific things in the module. Go check those out on my channel. As for playalong songs, This kit really doesn't have many in the module. Most are on a special CD that came with the module. You have to play them off a laptop, it isn't a regular CD. Good luck!
Hi Justin, i just got my TD30K today, i'm coming from a HD1, it's realy another universe.
So, until today, it Was all about plugging a basic headphone and have a gig.
But i didin't find how to use the headphones on TD30K, cause when i plugged them on the L output channel, the sound came mono only on the L side.
Should it have to sound on both sides of the headphone ?
The manual not even talks about this issue.
Can you help me ?
Thks!
plug it into the headphone jack. Its right in front of the module. Its labeled. :)
Uauuuu, how blind am i ???
Thks for the fast anwser!!!
Great channel!!!
Can you make a video showing how to make a custome kit placing different sounds on different parts of the kit...
Anthony, I'm curious regarding what you mean exactly? Do you mean, like moving cymbals sounds into drum pads or percussion into bass drum pads, or...? I'm not sure what you mean...
Justin, are you familiar with the V Expressions LTD sound expansion for the TD-30? If so, would you recommend getting it? They offer a Rock and a Performance set at 50.00 apiece, or both for 80.00. Not sure if it is worth it or not, but really interested in enhancing the kits as many of the preprogrammed kits are not to my taste.
I'm talking about that in a video very soon. Maybe monday or sunday
Awesome! Can't wait!
it's out :)
Incredibly helpful...
It's a very old video, sorry you didn't find it useful
@@65Drums I absolutely found, and find it useful!
Question: Is there a gated reverb contained within the module?
There are 2 types of reverb in the module. Long Reverb, and standard reverb. With around 10 parameter controls over each type.
Justin, hi! I'm from Russia and forgive my English!)) How version hardware of your module? My modules version is 1.01, can I upgrade this? I'm missing a feature wireless, will the update?
To connect wireless to your phone, you need to buy a Roland WNA-1 or somthing similar to plug into the back
It would be nice if you cheaked out jobeky drums, I have never played a jobeky drumset but heard that they are good.
+DrumItLikeVinnie I've never played one either, and they aren't sold in stores. But if I ever get a chance to play one, I'll probably make a video about it.
Great job. Can you record with the usb
Yes! and i already made a tutorial on my channel about that too
Your description of the compressor is wrong.
It CAN do what you say (levelling out your dynamics), but it depends on how you set up.
The way you set it up can make your kit sounds more punchy, less punchy, etc
I don't know if this is just something in my head or if it is actual, but when I first edit all my instruments to sound the way I want them to sound, and then go to adjust the ambience, then my instruments all sound different again... any tips on that?
It's like the chicken and the egg. Which do you edit first? Because they interact
It's a tough balance, my suggestion is get your drums sounding 90% of the way you want with editing the instruments first. Then go edit ambiance with a VERY light touch to finish the sound. In my mind, if you can easily notice the room ambiance/reverb/overhead mic placement, it's too heavy. Try messing with the ambiance slider on the mixer faders.
Okay that makes sense! Thanks!
Can I create a chain of the same kits? For example, I only like the rock kit, but for different songs the tom and cymbal sounds are edited? So in the Chain it will say -
1- Rock Kit (whatever my edits are)
2- Rock Kit (different edits)
3- Rock kit (even more edits)
Also, very helpful video. Thanks
Thanks man! Yes that is possible. You can have multiple versions of the same kit in a chain.
Cheers man. Looking forward to some serious customization.
Thats the beauty of the TD30
is ther a lesson on how to do this amongst all your vids
+Colin Bryce do what?
Thanks
anytime :)
I should probably finish this video before asking this question but can u play with music ? with this I bought one of these about a year ago and haven't touched it because I haven't really had time but things are slowing down and now I'm here at your video to see how to work this module lol
Just plug an aux cable from your phone to the aux port on the back of the module
65 Drums ok ima try it now thanks lol
65 Drums you need the extender for the auxiliary cable fuckkk
Yeah, that's pretty standard for drum modules. Just a 1/8 to 1/4 inch adapter. $2 on amazon.
65 Drums yeah but you would think by spending like almost 4 grad you would get a auxiliary port lolz
n i copy a whole kit in one click and send too user kit and then tweak
Thats the best way to do it
Really - That 'Factory Reset' function should have a targeted reset that can Reset any 1 set that is out of sorts - and not dump all the work on the rest of the sets - that you do like. Hey Roland - you out there?
love it! part 2 pleasse!! how to use it fully utalizing like a sound man does
+Jeroro Mouse Thanks for the suggestion!
Brill,look forward to more of these,Roland cannot or will not answer any queries.
Thats sad to hear Roland doesn't help :( But the good news is I've made tons of other tutorials on the module. Check out the TD30 playlist on my channel.
can i change ride to crash
+Boonkarn Nitomphan yes
You suggested not editing any of the 1-80 kits. You said to copy any of them to a 80+ user kit. You never showed us how to copy a kit to a user kit. : /
Go to the kit you want, then hold down the Shift first, and press Copy. In the menu that pops up, choose what kit you want it to replace.
Video on Monday?
+LTermiNatoR1971 It's a bonus video. I've got a new video coming out on Sunday
I have done many tracks using the "Skanky" setting
Great video,may I recommend ordering V expressions custom drum kits,which one loads onto USB,"which you haven't taken advantage,of as yet"
This will then become another chapter,
,
The thing is, I don't really want to spend $80 to pay someone else to edit my module for me. I like the option, but I don't think I'll ever go that route
